Genus : Haworthia
🔖 Care Tips
Haworthia grows slowly and can take 5 to 10 years to mature from seed.
🏝️ Habitat Conditions
South African plants thrive under other plants or rocks. They prefer indirect light over direct sunlight and grow well in dry areas.
🪨 Soil Mix
Plant in well-draining soil. Generally, a mix of 30% potting soil and 70% coarse sand is recommended for succulents, but this can vary based on conditions. Unlike most succulents, this plant has deep roots, so choose a deep pot. (For example, Optusa has shallow roots.)
🌡️ Environment
Maintain a temperature of 20-25°C. Keep it below 30°C during the day and above 10°C at night. In summer, provide some shade to prevent overheating. Keep humidity between 50-80%. If it drops below 50%, the plant may experience stress due to lack of moisture.
👀 Characteristics details
This plant has many variations in shape. For rosette-shaped types, water can collect on the leaves, so avoid wetting the leaves when watering, or ensure good airflow afterward to remove moisture. The plant has succulent leaves that store water. If the leaves become wrinkled, it indicates a lack of water, so be sure to water it.
☀️ Light
This plant is sensitive to direct sunlight. Allow it to receive soft light through a window or curtain. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.
💧 Water
Do not water too frequently. Water when the leaves become wrinkled or soft. In summer, growth slows, and in winter, the plant goes dormant, so it's best to water when the soil is completely dry. This plant closes its stomata during the day and does not transpire, so it's better to water at night. After watering, place the plant in a well-ventilated area.
🌱 Propagate
The most common method for propagating houseplants is by separating offsets during repotting. Use sterilized tools or your hands to separate the outermost offsets. Then, dry them in the shade for 3-4 hours and replant them in pots with well-draining soil. Avoid watering for 3-7 days to prevent stem rot due to undeveloped roots. After replanting, do not expose the plants to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help them adapt to gentle light. Maintain high humidity and keep the temperature between 20-25°C.
🪴 Repot
Repot healthy plants every 2-3 years in spring, as they do not grow quickly. Water them 4-7 days after repotting, not immediately.
💊 Fertilize
During the growing seasons of spring and fall, it is best to use fertilizer according to the recommended amount. Avoid fertilizing immediately after repotting; instead, wait 2-4 weeks before applying fertilizer.
😵 Toxicity
Non-toxic and safe for pets and children.
